Yao Qi chuckled playfully: "This person did it on purpose." ”

Han Changwan raised his eyebrows and smiled noncommittally.

Yao Qi glanced at his lips, revealing a disdainful smile.

After a while, He Zhenfu hurriedly walked into the room and exclaimed: "My lord, I found it, I found it!" ”

Han Changdu's face changed slightly, and he took two steps back.

"He Zongqi, are you falling into the manure pit?" Yao Qi retreated to the root of the wall in a panic, covered his mouth and nose with his hands, and asked with an embarrassed face.

He Zhenfu reacted at this time, he was so overjoyed that he forgot to change his clothes first, smelled his sleeves, he grabbed his bun, and smiled embarrassedly: "Humble duty, humble duty happily forgetful." ”

Han Changwan smiled disapprovingly: "It's okay, I've worked hard for you, what did I just find?" ”

He Zhenfu hurriedly took out a cloth ball and opened it layer by layer.

In the middle of the plain white veil holds a dark yellow jade carved four-petal plum blossom, the carving is excellent, the plum blossom of half a palm is lifelike, and the subtle lines and stamens on the petals are carved exquisitely.

There are no holes in this jade carving, and it is obvious that it is not hung on anything, but is used for inlay.

Han Changdui was stunned for a moment, and then turned his eyes to look at Yao Qi.

Yao Qi was shocked, glanced at Han Changdui, and the corners of his lips twitched: "This, this ......"

Her stunned expression exposed the turmoil in her heart, and this jade carving was obviously related to the mysterious Xie Liangmao, or rather, to Prince Huaizhang.

Could it be that everything that happened in the Gongyuan was actually manipulated by Xie Liangmu behind him?

She couldn't calm down anymore, and looked at Han Changdui in disbelief.

Han Changdui nodded and exhaled softly: "You guessed right, I didn't expect that his power was already so great that he could even infiltrate the Gongyuan Academy, and he tried in vain to manipulate the provincial test." He raised his eyes and looked at He Zhenfu: "But did you find something else?" ”

He Zhenfu shook his head: "The four pits have all been cleaned, and only this jade carving has been found." ”

When Han Changdui heard this, he frowned: "Didn't you find the deceased's other shoe?" ”

He Zhenfu said: "No." ”

Han Changdui's heart sank, and he reached out and rubbed his eyebrows in distress.

If it is not necessary, no one will take the trouble to take away the shoes of the deceased after killing someone.

Unless there is some deadly mark or secret on that shoe.

That's why the killer would take the risk of being searched and exposed, and take the shoes away instead of leaving them at the scene.

Since the murderer took this shoe, he must have thought of taking it out of the Tribute Courtyard.

At dusk, the scholars were to leave the Gongyuan, and if the murderer was a member of the scholars, then he would definitely take advantage of this opportunity to take his shoes out.

And the officials in the Mingyuan Building can only leave the tribute courtyard after the list is released, so the shoe is either hidden in the room or hidden on himself.

Han Changdui carefully recalled the situation of the officials in the public office, and they were all very thinly dressed, and they couldn't hide a shoe close to their bodies.

His eyes flashed, and he said to He Zhenfu: "Tell the internal guards to search all the rooms carefully, and if there is a single shoe, bring it over." ”

He Zhenfu was also puzzled, he didn't understand what secrets would be hidden in a shoe, hearing Han Changdu's words, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he arranged in good spirits.

As soon as Bian He Zhenfu left, Meng Sui came back thoughtfully.

Seeing Meng Sui's face, Han Changdui was suspicious, and asked in a deep voice, "What's wrong, what's wrong?" ”

Meng Sui's expression was strange, and he said thoughtfully: "My lord, I just said that I went to the official hall and walked around, but others didn't have any abnormal reactions, only Lord Wang Jingzong of the Hanlin Academy, his face changed, but he soon returned to normal. ”

"Wang Jingzong?" Han Changdui was stunned and said, "You are not mistaken? ”

"Nope." Meng Sui fixed his head: "Except for the elder who sits at the top, the other three examiners are in the first row of the bottom, and they will see it as soon as they enter, and they will never be mistaken." ”

For some reason, Han Changdui was inexplicably a little anxious, and slowly paced in the room with his hands behind his back.

Meng Suixuan had nothing more to say, lowered his head and began to untie his belt.

"Don't move." Yao Qi's eyes flashed, and he suddenly opened his mouth and shouted.

Meng Sui's hands trembled in fright, and he looked up blankly.

Yao Qi took the topaz jade carving, compared it with the depression on the jade buckle in the middle of the belt, tilted his head and thought for a moment.

Meng Suiqi was furious when he was looked at by Yao Ji, lowered his head and asked, "Yao joins the army, what are you doing here." ”

Yao Qi ignored Meng Sui, and only held the jade carving and deducted it to the depression, but compared it back and forth, fine beads of sweat oozed from the corners of his forehead, and he failed to install the jade carving in the depression safely.

Han Changdui walked over, leaned over and said, "This depression is so shallow, and the jade carving is relatively heavy, there is no place where the inlay can be fixed, I think this jade carving and the belt are not together." ”

Yao Ji disagreed.

She had seen the methods of Xie Liangji's people, and the strange key she had hidden with her unknown origin and unknown purpose was made up of three jade carvings that seemed to have nothing to do with each other.

Just looking at each jade carving, there is nothing that can be fixed and inlaid.

However, putting the three jade carvings together, after ingenious mortise and tenon joints, can form a solid connection, which is not easy to open without skill.

At least the key was in her pouch, close to her body, and it tossed and turned with her, but it didn't spread out in the slightest.

She was inexplicably a little confident, if this topaz jade carving was indeed made by Xie Liangmao and others, then with the means of these people, she believed that this jade carving would definitely be placed in a hollow place.

She was stubborn, stubbornly competing with these two things.

Meng Sui's body was a little stiff, and he was at a loss for what to do when he was fiddled with by Yao Qi, and he didn't dare to move.

Han Changdui watched from the side, and suddenly spoke: "You turn it over and try it." ”

Yao Ji was stunned for a moment, as if he had been empowered, and turned the topaz jade pendant over.

Her hand rubbed carefully in the depression of the jade buckle, and there were some extremely subtle unevenness in the depression.

It's just that this kind of unevenness is a very common existence in jade carving, and the world will only think that this jade buckle is not polished well enough, but they can't imagine that this is actually an ingenious mortise and tenon structure.

Yao Ji's eyes lit up, he raised his eyebrows, and buckled the side of the topaz carved four-petaled plum blossom in the depression.

The bumpy four-petaled plum blossom and the uneven depression touched each other, making a very slight grinding sound.

Han Changwan and Meng Sui both held their breath and stared at Yao Qi's hand motionlessly.

Yao Qi slowly turned Huang Yuyu

Carving, only to hear a soft click, the jade carving was tightly buckled in the dent.

She raised her eyebrows triumphantly: "My lord, try it?" ”

Han Changdui was surprised, pinched the topaz jade carving, and pulled it outward, but the jade carving did not move at all.

He showed a faint smile, pinched the topaz jade carving and slowly turned it in the opposite direction, only half a circle, and sure enough, there was a soft click.

He raised his eyebrows, easily took down the topaz jade carving, turned his head to stare at Yao Qi, and asked unintentionally, "Have you ever seen something like this before?" ”

Yao Qi's heart suddenly became alarmed, he smiled as usual, and replied quickly: "No, see you for the first time." ”

Han Changwan narrowed his eyes and smiled, "You don't have to think about it anymore?" ”

Yao Ji blinked his eyes twice, his eyebrows and eyes were bent like a crescent moon, and he smiled sincerely: "This is the first time I'll see you." ”

Han Changwan let out a long sigh, and the end note was extremely high, obviously not believing Yao Qi's set of words, and wrote the word doubt on his face: "Yes, then Yao is really talented when he joins the army, and the first time I see it, I can crack the mechanism." ”

Yao Qi pretended to be surprised, and his face was full of innocence: "This can also be called an organ?" ”

The sarcasm of these words is simply slapping Han Changdu's face and ridiculing him for his lack of knowledge.

Han Changdui changed a little: "......"

Meng Sui couldn't hold back, and burst out laughing.

Han Changwan glanced at the two of them, didn't say a word, buckled the topaz jade carving back, and patted Meng Suijiao's shoulder: "Okay, you go to the official hall again." ”

Meng Suijie sighed and turned around helplessly.

The light flickered and fell on the topaz, and in the yellow-orange-orange color, a blinding white light suddenly flashed.

Han Changdui suddenly said, "Wait a minute." ”

Meng Sui stumbled and stopped abruptly, almost tripping over his left foot.

Han Changdui stepped forward and stared at the topaz jade carving carefully.

This jade carving is indeed an ordinary topaz, with a good texture, luster and luster, and the whole body is pure bright yellow.

As the bottom side, there are some pale white cotton wool floating slightly in the yellow, which makes this piece of jade more agile, and the bottom is carved into a very regular arc, polished smooth and smooth, like water flowing on the top.

How could such a dazzling white light suddenly appear in such a jade quality, in such a clear yellow?

Han Changdui bent over and kept changing directions to look at the topaz jade carving, but he didn't see the white light of Fang Cai again.

It's completely impossible.

Han Changdui was puzzled.

Yao Qi hurriedly walked closer and asked in surprise, "My lord, what's wrong?" ”

Han Changdui pointed to the topaz jade carving and asked puzzledly: "When the lights shone on it just now, I saw a white light flashing above, very bright and dazzling. ”

Yao Qi frowned: "White light, how can there be white light on the topaz." She teased: "Adults are not sleeping enough, so they are dazzled." ”

Han Changdui sighed and said to Meng Sui: "Go, go to the official hall and walk around." ”

Meng Sui pursed his lips and smiled, and walked out.

Han Changdui still didn't see the appearance of the dazzling white light, so he stopped thinking about it and didn't think about it anymore, just thinking that he was indeed dazzled.
